Imagine an afternoon stroll in Trafalgar Square. Perhaps you were just coming
from one of the gentlemenâ€™s clubs at Pall Mall. Thankful for a respite from the
rain, you are using your umbrella as a walking stick and relying on your bowler to
keep your head dry from a possible heavenly resurgence. A young boy, somewhat dishevelled, runs up to you and hands you a note. You took it out of politeness; you read it out of curiosity. The message is simple: Parliament cannot protect you. Join the Revolution.

You raise an eyebrow and look back towards the boy. Heâ€™s already disappearing down an alley, leaving behind a few more alarmed strollers holding copies of his note. Seconds later, a coach explodes across the busy street. Trafalgar Square is thrown into chaos, with people and spooked horses fleeing in every direction, screaming excitedly. There are bodies laying around the burning remnants of the coach, some moving, some not.

Terrorism is alive and well in the Imperial Age and it has been given a name:

Anarchism.

The Imperial Age: Anarchism is your guide to the political movement that grew during the Victorian era. The Anarchist believes that all governments are corrupt and oppressive and that the people should demand change. Unlike most other social reform movements, however, the Anarchist believes that this can only be achieved through a violent popular revolt.
Contained within this 11-page supplement: an overview of Anarchism during the Imperial Age; Adventure Hooks; an advanced class which allows you to add Anarchists to your Victorian-era campaign; and new feats.

A little history is helpful here. Anarchism was a big deal to the Victorians. Not just in terms of a political movement, but in terms of what it meant. Society was everything to the Victorians, Anarchy was the opposite of that. So first off, major [...]

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
